Latest reviews of C Language Reference app for iPhone and iPad
A collection of books
The author should mention that this app only actualy contains books but is not convenient to use as an app .... Be advise that you will not have a pratical app to quickly refer to functions or whatever .

Only books without search topics. Bad
Only few classic books on C and C++. All books dont have a topic search. Badly.

PDF viewer with C references preinstalled
This is little more than a PDF viewer with several C programming books included, which are available free on the Internet. Theres no search function, or index, and since the books cover the same material and topic, generally, there is a lot of duplication and difficulty finding any specific item. If one wants to read several C books straight through, this might be a reasonable resource. If one is looking for a specific piece of information, such as the formatting parameters available for printf, a google search is going to be vastly faster. Further, several of the PDF books are simply PDF conversions of HTML material, which ends up with poor formatting. Im not sure what audience this is made for. Perhaps it would be useful when programming away from an Internet connection. I suggest the author at least consider summarizing the content of each book on the main menu screen, and adding a global index that shows, for instances, the places in the books where each topic is covered. Further it would be great if the HTML content was displayed as HTML content, or formatted better for the PDF conversion. Lastly, most page by page apps allow one to use swiping and tapping to go to the next and previous pages - consider using that rather than a long continuous vertical pages that holds all the pages.
